Honest Opinions & Sage Advice

Stand Up And Smile

Sticks and stones may break my bones. But, names (or statues) will never hurt me. Instead of dwelling on the mixed messages being shoved down our throats daily, ignore them. To hear the mean and hateful rant many of us wonder what on earth is going on. Are we deplorable, everything phobic, Russian, white supremacists? It is hard to keep up with the propaganda. So don’t.

We all know what we are or are not. As tempting as it is to respond to the ugly posts on social media, ignore them. You can’t reason with crazy. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion no matter how vile. Instead of responding. “I know you are. But what am I.” Move on to the next one.

For every hate filled, divisive comments there are many more uplifting messages. When you find a civil post you agree with click on the little heart. For those of us who want to see law and order in our streets, lower taxes, better schools, national security, our veterans taken care of and much more, in short to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAINsupport each other.

The hateful will hate. The politicians will sell their souls to their political party and deep pocket donors. The Fake News will spread propaganda. But, those of us that want better for our children and grandchildren will stand tall. We will not be silenced. We will not be bullied into submission. We will not be distracted by the negativity.

What we will do is stand behind our President. Because make no mistake about it. The attacks against our President have nothing to do with Donald J. Trump. It is an assault on our democracy. We had all better hope and pray that President Trump succeeds. The alternative is that we as a Nation fail.

Those trying to take down a sitting President are attempting a treasonous coup. If they think the American people will allow it, they are sadly mistaken. Are they so naive to think it would be business as usual if they were to succeed? One thing is for sure, the Federal government will not be footing the bill for healthcare or anything else, it will be no more.
